Lord Highlander

   Chapter 391 390. Lich Skull

Seeing that the fierce battle was still going on outside the window, the group of zombies with bodies as strong as gold and iron had rushed to the small square in front of the villa, and the guards of the manor had built a wall of fire not far from the steps of the villa. Miss Fanny felt that these people It must not be too long, she was in the room like an ant on a hot pot, running around in the room.

   "I must get out of here, immediately, without delay."

  Standing by the window and seeing that white shadow soaring into the sky, Miss Fanny thought to herself.

Miss Fanny thought that if Knight Holden hadn't stepped forward, the manor guards and nobles downstairs would never be able to kill the two ghosts in the oak forest, so when the ghosts appeared in the manor again, she immediately He made the decision to flee the manor immediately.

Miss Fanny was wrapped in a thick cotton coat and wore a maid's long dress. She **** her long hair and thoroughly washed off her delicate makeup. She even applied a layer of beeswax dye on her face, making her skin sallow and sallow Yes, pretending to be an inconspicuous maid, and putting valuables into the magic waist bag, thinking that this belt might not be safe to wear around the waist. After hesitating for a while, she lifted the skirt and tied the waist bag tightly on her thigh.

She pushed open the door of the room and looked around the corridor. Fortunately, there were no maids on duty in the corridor. Usually, there would be maids on duty at the guest rooms of the manor at any time to meet the guests' emergencies, but now the manor is chaotic. In a group, the maid on duty at the guest room didn't know where to go.

  Miss Fanny patted her beating heart lightly, and tiptoed along the corridor to the stairs.

There were chaotic footsteps downstairs, and even the sharp screeching sound of chairs rubbing against the ground. It seemed that many people were moving things, probably moving out the worthless furniture and wood in the villa, so that the door could be opened. The wall of fire burned a little longer.

  Miss Fanny carefully walked through the corridor on the second floor, walked from the spiral staircase on the left to the kitchen at the back of the villa, and could slip out of the villa through the back door as long as she passed through the kitchen.

   "Hey, go to the back kitchen to find grease!" The voice sounded from behind Miss Fanny, and there was an undeniable taste in the tone.

   It was Mrs. Christie's voice, and Miss Fanny could recognize it.

  At this moment, she was so scared that she almost sat on the ground.

  She lowered her head, turned her body halfway, pulled the corners of her skirt with both hands, knelt down to salute Mrs. Christie, and said in the smallest voice: "Yes, madam."

   After speaking, he quickly walked up the stairs to the kitchen.

  But before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by Mrs. Christie again: "Wait a minute, I'm looking for some cloth strips. I don't have enough cloth, just those bath towels and blankets. We need to make more torches."

   "Yes, ma'am," Miss Fanny replied at once.

  She walked very slowly this time because she was worried that Mrs. Christie would call her again, but until she went down the stairs, there was no Mrs. Christie's voice behind her.

  Miss Fanny casually picked up a tray from the wooden table by the wall, turned around and walked towards the kitchen. She rolled her eyes fiercely, and had scolded Mrs. Christie dozens of times in her heart.

  The maids in the kitchen were moving the firewood in the storage room. Miss Fanny avoided the crowd and stood at the door of the storage room pretendingly for a while, then found a chance to come out through the back door.

  A gust of cold wind blew on her face, making her shiver all over. She didn't expect it to be so cold in the mountains.

  Miss Fanny rode a magic caravan along the way. The inside of the caravan was comfortable and warm, so apart from some bumps along the way, she didn't suffer too much.

  She arrived at the stable near the west side, and saw the magic caravan on one side, the magic caravan was parked by the wall, the coachman was no longer in the car, and the horses pulling the cart were also tied in the stable.

  Miss Fanny has never learned how to drive a car, but she can ride a horse, and her riding skills are not bad. She thinks it is more reliable to escape by riding a horse.

Originally, she wanted to sneak away with Leonard Swordsman, but when she sneaked into his room, she found that he was no longer in the room. Unexpectedly, she went back to the room alone to change her makeup, and found Leonard in the room He actually went downstairs to participate in the defensive battle, and almost made Miss Fanny's nose crooked at that time.

Miss Fanny is quite satisfied with Swordsman Leonard. Although this young swordsman sometimes acts cowardly, he is good enough for himself. No matter what kind of danger, he will never leave him. It is not a last resort, and Fanny does not want to abandon him.

But at this time, he rushed outside. It was impossible for Miss Fanny to pull him back from the battlefield, so she could only curse "big idiot" in her heart, and she was going to leave this place by herself first. manor.

She walked into the stable and walked down the stable to choose the best horses in the stable, but the few horses she selected showed a little hostility towards her, and she was unwilling to let her approach, did Miss Fanny have time? To tame these few horses with character, we can only choose a more docile one, and lead this horse out of the stable.

  Find a place to put the saddle again, fasten the saddle, everything is ready, Miss Fanny tried to ride the horse, and ran towards the back door.

  Feeling that the temperature outside has become colder, Miss Fanny really wanted to go back to the warm house, leaning against the warm stove and drinking a cup of sweet hot tea.

The mist in the night restricted the vision to a distance of ten meters. Miss Fanny was not familiar with the manor, so she groped towards the back door of the manor based on her memory, holding three gold coins in her hand. She was sure to use these gold coins to convince the guards at the gate to let her go.

  She rode the horse forward not far, but felt that the horse seemed irritable and kept scratching the ground with its hooves, and she had to keep urging it to move forward.

Miss Fanny looked around in some trepidation, but she didn't find any danger. Just when she turned her head, the thick fog above her head rolled, and a white figure descended from the sky, with sharp bony fingers grabbing into her shoulders. A bone hand was directly covering her face, Miss Fanny didn't even have a chance to shout, she was swept into the thick mist by a ghost hiding in the dark, and only a pair of horses with saddles remained in the empty backyard. Gu Bo came to the horse.

  …

  Several guards led away the skeleton soldiers wandering on the left side of the manor, and Surdak followed the raid team to leave the manor through the corridor on the left side of the manor.

As soon as he walked out of the manor, he found that the surrounding dense fog had obviously lightened. He didn't meet other wandering skeletons along the way, but just after leaving the manor, he found a skeleton soldier emerging from behind an oak tree. The captain of the guard was caught off guard. The skeleton soldier made a cut. Fortunately, this standard armor is still strong. After the ax split the shoulder armor, it only left a shallow wound on the guard captain's shoulder.

Dacie Christie, who was following behind, made a move almost at the same time, piercing the skeleton soldier's skull with a sword. Her luck was not so good, the long sword she stabbed got stuck in the gap of the skull, when she pulled the sword back At that time, the skeleton soldier was also pulled into her arms by her.

Karl slashed at the skeleton soldier's vertebrae with a sword, but did not cut off the vertebrae. Fortunately, Swordsman Leonard made up a sword at the side, extinguishing the soul fire in the skeleton soldier's eye sockets. The skeleton soldier's strength quickly disappeared, and he became into a heap of broken bones.

  Dacy Christie finally pulled out the long sword inserted into the skull.

Since most of the low-level undead poured into the manor through the main entrance, the raid team decided to search in the direction of the main entrance. Since all the elites in the manor were drawn out to join the raid team, the guards in the manor couldn't hold on for too long, so The raid team was also under great pressure, looking everywhere for the necromancer who manipulated these undead.

  The closer you get to the main gate of the manor, the more frequently you encounter skeleton soldiers.

The skeleton soldiers encountered along the way were all cleared by the raid team, but this also exposed the whereabouts of the raid team. Everyone thought that the necromancer must be hiding at the main gate. Darcy Christie and the captain of the guard both Seeming to be extremely urgent, the two walked at the front of the team, but Suldak fell at the end of the team.

  Suldak fumbled for a long time from the magic pocket, and finally took out a bottle of magic potion exuding a black breath.

This bottle of magic potion is also one of the trophies found on the body of the magician Cyrus Hickok. It is also the only bottle of magic potion that Suldak understands the specific function. According to the notes of the black magician The content, this is a bottle of secondary invisibility magic potion. It is said that this low-level magic potion cannot be completely invisible in the glare of the sun. It can only hide at night or in dark caves. He doesn't think the raid team can All the way so easily broke through the layers of blockade of the skeleton soldiers, and approached the necromancer who controlled all the undead.

He took the bottle of secondary invisibility potion in his hand, and followed the raiding team to the vicinity of the main gate of the manor. The fog here is relatively thin, and he saw a lady tied to a stone pillar under the bronze statue at the gate of the manor. , surrounded by some skeletons, a ghost put a sharp sickle on the neck of the lady, everyone looked around, but still did not see the necromancer, he was still hiding in the dark.

  Miss Fanny's voice for help came from a distance: "Leonard, help me!"

Everyone didn't expect that the lady tied to the pillar would be Miss Fanny. Everyone was still guessing how she was caught by the necromancer. Swordsman Leonard had already rushed out of the team, without hesitation. He ran towards Miss Fanny and shouted to Miss Fanny, "Fanny, hold on..."

  But he was held tightly by the captain of the guard and Karl.

The necromancer hiding in the dark ignored Swordsman Leonard at all, he said to Miss Fanny with a hoarse voice: "Hand over that thing, hurry up, or I will confiscate your Dig out the heart and turn you into the ugliest living corpse, and your physique may become like it after two short migrations."

A twisted zombie crawled on the ground and got up from the ground. Its hands lay on Miss Fanny's skirt, and it tore the cotton skirt with its insides, revealing a pair of long white legs inside, and a ferocious and twisted face. bit the thigh of Miss Fanny.

Suldak made up his mind, hid at the back of the team, and secretly drank the bottle of secondary invisibility potion in his hand. The potion was cold and had a bitter smell, just like the ink in the belly of a cuttlefish. After Suldak drank the whole bottle of potion, an extremely strange scene appeared. His body actually slowly became transparent and disappeared into the air.

  His eyes could still see everything around him, but he couldn't see himself, even if he stretched out his hands in front of his eyes, he couldn't see either.

  Miss Fanny let out a scream, and then shouted in a sharper voice: "Oh, no, you heretic, don't want me to hand over the crystal skull!"

  The hoarse voice hidden in the dark paused for a while, and then said: "You actually called that thing a crystal skull, hehe, wake up!"

The members of the raiding team looked around, but unfortunately they didn't find the hiding place of the necromancer. He should be not too far away, otherwise it would be difficult for the sound to come through. It's just that the dark night was filled with fog, and Fanny was worried For the safety of the lady, everyone dared not approach the gate, so the necromancer was not found for a while.

  Miss Fanny’s screams of pain came again from the gate. Swordsman Leonard was struggling hard, trying to break free from the **** of the captain of the guard and Karl.

   At this moment, the hoarse voice said excitedly: "I feel it, and I know where it is hidden!"

  Then, the voice said coldly to Miss Fanny: "And you... Ms., you have lost the only chance to live."

   The sickle in the ghost's hand was raised high, but it didn't fall down immediately.

  At this time, a tall but skinny man stepped out from behind the bronze statue. He stood beside Miss Fanny, pinched Miss Fanny's chin with a big withered hand, and stared down at her.

   "No, Fanny!" Swordsman Leonard burst out with strength, breaking away from the captain of the guard and Karl, and rushed straight to Miss Fanny.

   "Rush over now, Miss Fanny will die immediately!" Darcy Christie stopped him and shouted at him.

   Leonard Swordsman stopped in a daze, and Dacie Christie took the opportunity to ask him, "Leonard, what did you take from him?"

Swordsman Leonard shook his head and said: "I don't know, I don't know what she took, she said it was a sacrifice that could make life eternal, as long as this sacrifice is brought to the imperial capital, the Statue of Liberty The temple, offering sacrifices to the goddess, can obtain eternal blessings, and even let the stairs of heaven descend directly to the kingdom of gods. During these days, Fanny and I have been hiding from the pursuit of the undead, We didn't plan to stop in High Lansa City, we just wanted to rest for one night and then continue north."

"How could this be a sacrifice? Didn't she tell you that there is actually another form of eternal life?" The necromancer standing beside Miss Fanny seemed to have heard a very ridiculous joke, and then suddenly withered The thugs reached into Miss Fanny's arms, and took out a crystal clear skull from her arms. There was even a multicolored magnificent gemstone inlaid between the eyebrows of this skull.

   I wish you all a happy new year
